I’ve been looking all over for the answer but the closest thing I’ve found is just blame the server.

This is my code, for my application I’m using the Zehon library:

import com.zehon.BatchTransferProgressDefault;
import com.zehon.FileTransferStatus;
import com.zehon.exception.FileTransferException;
import com.zehon.ftps.FTPsClient;

public class UploadFolderSample {
/**
 * Please refer to http://www.zehon.com/FTPs_samples.htm for its full source code
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    String host = "****";
    int port = 990;
    String username = "******";
    String password = "*******";
    String sendingFolder = "*******/";
    String destFolder = "ftpes:******/";

    try {
        com.zehon.ftps.FTPsClient ftps = new FTPsClient(host, port, username, password, false);
        ftps.folderExists(destFolder);
        int status  = ftps.sendFolder(sendingFolder, destFolder, new BatchTransferProgressDefault());

        if(FileTransferStatus.SUCCESS == status){
            System.out.println(sendingFolder + " got ftps-ed successfully to  folder "+destFolder);
        }
        else if(FileTransferStatus.FAILURE == status){
            System.out.println("Fail to ftps  to  folder "+destFolder);
        }
    } catch (FileTransferException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }       
}

}

And this is my error:

I could really use some help, I’ve been stuck on the FTPS thing for over a week now.

edit(added dialog):
This is what happens when I use the wrong port, but at least it shows the dialog this way.

    There exist Explicit and Implicit FTPS (FTP-over-SSL). In first case connection is established (usually) to port 21, then a command is sent to negotiate SSL over established channel. Implicit SSL means connection over port (usually) 990, then SSL is negotiated and then regular commands (LOGIN etc. ) are sent over SSL-secured channel.

    If you mix two modes (connect to port 990 in non-secured mode or try to connect to port 21 and start SSL handshake immediately), nothing will work.

    So first thing to do is find out what mode you need to use. Then you set correct port and check that your library supports needed mode.
